Senior Engineer

Programming - London, UK

Job Description

CCP London is currently building a new team to lead development on a new and highly ambitious MMORPG. We are looking to grow a relatively small, tight-knit team, capable of delivering big ideas through experience, smart process, and world-class tools.

As part of this, we are looking for a Senior Engineer to join the team, who will be responsible for developing a wide range of gameplay features and games systems. You will maintain exceptionally high standards in code quality, polish and “gameplay feel”, and guide and mentor more junior members of the team.

You will be an experienced programmer, with expert knowledge of C++ as well as significant experience with Unreal Engine 4, including C++ and Blueprint development. You will have experience in the design, implementation and maintenance of various game systems, including AI, navigation, combat and real-time networking, as well as experience with game debugging and optimisation.

We are looking for someone who is versatile and proactive, and willing to contribute to a wide range of engineering tasks. While experience of developing gameplay and game systems is essential, it would also be great to hear of your experiences or passions with other aspects of game development, including tools, UI / UX, build systems or rendering.

The ideal candidate will have spent time digging into the code of the engine itself, or come with a willingness to pro-actively jump-in and learn.

A passion for video games is a must, and experience developing or playing MMOs is definitely a bonus. If this sounds like you then we would love to hear from you!
